Geographical location
Oberrimsingen is located on the western Tuniberg on the lower terrace of the Rhine plain. The district is about 906 hectares and lies at 193 to 292 meters above sea level. The core city of Breisach is 10 kilometers from Oberrimsingen, and Freiburg is around 15 kilometers away. Both cities can be reached by public transport from Oberrimsingen.
history
Oberrimsingen and Niederrimsingen were originally a hamlet-like farm settlement and are among the oldest settlements on the Tuniberg. In the Paleolithic Age around 10,000 BC, people lived as reindeer hunters in loess caves below the Ehrentrudiskapelle. Archaeological finds on the Kapellenberg and the Hängstberg near Munzingen point to a settlement in the Neolithic between 4,000 and 1,800 BC, during which people farmed and raised cattle.
First of all, Oberrimsingen formed a community with Niederrimsingen. Rimsingen was first mentioned in writing in 819 in a deed of donation to Lorsch Abbey. In the 10th century the noble free von Rimsingen owned the village. Count Birchtilo donated the Sulzburg monastery in 993 and furnished it with goods in Niederrimsingen. The lords of Üsenberg descend from the Rimsingen family and had their castle and ancestral seat on the rocky island of the same name in the Rhine below Breisach. The Üsenberg Hesso II summoned monks from the reformed monastery Cluny in Burgundian to Oberrimsingen in 1072 , who a few years later under their first prior Gerold moved the monastery from Tuniberg to nearby Grüningen , which has now disappeared .
Due to the ecclesiastical conditions, a separation of the two Rimsingen was initiated, but the first mention of Oberrimsingen in 1291 and Niederrimsingen in 1334 can only be seen in connection with the feudal system . In 1275 the separation of the two settlements becomes clear in the mention of "Rimsingen superior" (German: Obern Rimsingen 1329).
Numerous monasteries in Oberrimsingen owned extensive property in the 12th century, and in the following centuries the Lords of Üsenberg, the Margraves of Hachberg and the city of Breisach also owned goods and rights. In 1430 Oberrimsingen came under the rule of the Lords of Staufen, but Niederrimsingen remained with Breisach. This different rulership led to the formation of the two communities. From then on, Niederrimsingen's fortunes were determined by the fact that it belonged to the imperial city of Breisach and thus to Upper Austria as well as its close connection with the Sulzburg monastery.
After the Lords of Staufen died out in 1602, Oberrimsingen came to the House of Habsburg for a few years, went to the Günterstal Monastery in 1607, and in 1621 through purchase together with Hausen an der Möhlin to the Lords of Falkenstein (barons since 1708). In 1805 both places fell to the Grand Duchy of Baden and became independent communities.
Until 1924 they were subordinate to the district office of Breisach, then to the district office and later to the district of Freiburg, from January 1973 to the district of Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald. With the community reform, Niederrimsingen was incorporated into the city of Breisach on April 1, 1973 and Oberrimsingen on January 1, 1975.
In the Peasants' War of 1524/25, the Oberrimsingers moved with the Kaiserstühler heap, they plundered the chapel in Grüningen and besieged Freiburg. During the Thirty Years' War , the Swedes looted the chapel in Grüningen and the church and rectory in Oberrimsingen in 1632/33 and set the latter on fire. At the end of the war, the place was completely destroyed and extinct. In the following wars of the 17th and 18th centuries between France and Austria, in the French Revolutionary Wars and in the Napoleonic Wars at the end of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19th century, the population of Oberrimsingen had billeting and requisitions due to the proximity to Breisach and to suffer haulage and hard work on the ramparts of Breisach.
In 1833 the Oberrimsinger saw the first steamers on the Rhine; the " Rheinkorrektion Tullas " brought them work and earnings. In 1901 today's town hall was built. In 1911 the village received electricity and in 1912 the water pipe. In 1936 nearby Grezhausen was incorporated. During the air raid in March 1945, several houses, barns and stables were completely destroyed and around 60 properties were damaged. The population increased steadily until the middle of the 19th century: Oberrimsingen had 825 inhabitants in 1825. By moving to the city and emigrating to America, the population decreased to 657 inhabitants in 1905. The settlement of displaced persons after the Second World War , the establishment of the Christophorus Youth Office and the new building activities in the last few decades resulted in a considerable increase in the population.
Until 1945 almost the entire population worked in agriculture with arable farming, cattle breeding and viticulture. Substantial structural improvements could be achieved through land consolidation and re-allocation. The allocation area Weingarten with the Pinot Noir and the Müller-Thurgau includes the best vineyards on the Tuniberg. With the settlement of several gravel and crushed stone works after the Second World War, the number of people employed in industry increased considerably. A significant part of the population works as a commuter in Freiburg or Breisach.
As early as 1770 there was a school in Oberrimsingen that the children of Grezhausen attended. A fire partially destroyed the school building in 1853; it was rebuilt the following year. In 1860 a new school building was built, which was expanded in 1868 due to the large increase in school children. In 1960/61 a new building with four classrooms was built, designed by Alfred Ruch. The Freiburg cathedral master builder Sepp Jakob created the relief images of the life of St. Ulrich in the entrance hall.
Numerous clubs, associations and groups today have a decisive influence on the cultural life of the village.
Parish Church of St. Stephan
The parish church of Our Lady of Oberrimsingen was rebuilt in 1737, incorporating the old Romanesque tower. Mentioned in a document in the 11th century as an own church of the Lords of Rimsingen, the church set belonged to the Lords of Staufen in 1329 and to the Johannitern in 1360/70. After the plague year 1584 the parish became a branch of Gündlingen. The poor pastoral care of the Oberrimsingen branch by the parish of Gündlingen led to constant complaints in the 17th and 18th centuries and reinforced "one of the hottest wishes of Oberrimsingen" to re-establish a parish of its own. Approved by the state government in 1801, a parish moved into the parish in 1805. A stately new rectory followed in 1810. On March 3, 1945, Pastor Otto Wachenheim was killed in the bombing under the ruins of the old rectory.
The highlight of the church has been the Träublemadonna since 1953 (around 1520), which is believed to come from the previous church, temporarily adorned the ossuary, in 1943 - when the parish cemetery was moved to Grüningen - it was accepted into the private chapel of the Dienger-Bohrer family and has been preserved to this day . Incidentally, the parish church of Gottenheim has a stylistically identical sister figure of the Oberrimsinger statue of the Virgin. During the church renovation in 1977, the parish of Oberrimsingen procured Maria and Johannes stauen as assistant figures for the choir wall crucifix and four evangelist statuettes for the pulpit from the hand of the sculptor Josef Schäfer, Opfingen.
Old murals were found under the plastering of the wall between the choir and tower, but not exposed. On the square in front of the church, next to a stone crucifix by the Freiburg Baroque sculptor JB Sellinger, the parish's memorial to the fallen, a harrowing Lamentation of Mary, created in 1964 by Sepp Jakob, the chief sculptor of the Freiburg Minster Building .
In 1996 the church received a Vleugels organ.
From 2014 to 2015, the interior of the church was completely renovated and redesigned and consecrated by Archbishop Stephan Burger on Easter Monday. The altar, ambo and baptismal font made of Jurassic limestone as well as a striking dew made of tombac and glass above the high altar now characterize the chancel. The old side doors have been opened again and let a lot of light into the interior. The niche on the north side now houses a statue of St. James, the one on the south side the sacrificial candle holder.
Rimsingen Castle
In 1773, under Franz Anton Marquard von Falkenstein (1744–1800), the early Classicist castle was built on the site of the former Falkensteinsche Gutshof on the western outskirts according to plans by the Teutonic Order Building Director Franz Anton Bagnato (1773–1810). From the barons of Falkenstein the castle and the property went by way of succession to the Counts of Helmstatt in 1873 and in 1957 to Mathilde Kranke Freiin von Gleichenstein in Bad Krozingen.
In 1946, the Caritas Association of the Archdiocese of Freiburg set up the Christophorus Youth Work in the castle and built training workshops for practical professions as well as modern one and two-story low-rise buildings for the school and boarding school of the youth village. In 1977 the Kröner Gallery leased the castle and mainly exhibits masters of French Impressionism and modern German painting. In 1979 the city of Breisach acquired the castle and the associated land. Rimsingen Castle is now privately owned. There is a cabaret where performances take place regularly.
Domain Rothaus
The Rothaus on the B31 to Breisach is mentioned in a document in 1472 and was then owned by the Marienau convent in Breisach . After it was lifted in the course of the peasant unrest at the beginning of the 16th century, it probably went to the city of Breisach and finally went to the Lords of Falkenstein. At the beginning of the 18th century, the large entrepreneur Litschgi from Krozingen built a house with a butcher's shop and restaurant as well as several farm buildings when he built his raft canal along the Möhlin from Hausen to Breisach. Gut Rothaus remained in the possession of the Barons von Falkenstein until the 1870s; landowner Christian Lohrer sold it in 1908 to Count Siegmund Theodor von Berckheim from Weinheim. Finally, it was bought by the Baden State in 1931 and has since been leased to domain administrators. After a fire in 1954, new farm buildings were built.
Craft and industry
In 2013 the company Thoman Biegemaschinen opened its newly built building in Oberrimsingen. There are also a number of craft businesses. Most jobs, however, are in Freiburg, about 15 kilometers away.
